September:- Once in a while, an outstanding new talent emerges, with
immeasurable promise and potential. When the talent in question also has the
charisma and allure of a ‘star in the making’ it is time for us to sit up and
take notice. Karanveer, who makes his mainstream movie debut opposite Parmish
Verma, in Punjabi movie Rocky Mental, is such a talent–a fine actor on his way
to becoming a star.
Beneath the imposing presence and ‘Greek god body’, Karan is
surprisingly soft-spoken and mild-mannered-suave and articulate, yet exuding a
boyish vulnerability that endears him to everyone. From his early days Karan
had been pursuing his parallel passions of theater and fitness, acting in plays
while also working as a fitness trainer. In 2009 he entered the Gladrags Manhunt
Pageant and was declared the finalist from Chandigarh. This led to a series of
modeling assignments and TV roles. His association with theatre continued and
he matured as an actor, working on material from the likes of Saadat Hasan
Manto, Bhagwati Charan Verma and Dharamvir Bharati. He went on to act in a few
indie and short films which propelled him towards an opportunity to work with
Academy Award winning director Danis Tanović (No Man's Land) on his 2014 film
‘Tigers’. The experience was a turning-point for Karan and it instilled in him
a focus on meaningful roles and quality cinema. Fate works in mysterious ways.
Sometimes an actor goes in search of a role and sometimes a role goes in search
of an actor. Director Vikram Thori and actor Parmish Verma had a path-breaking
film ready to go on floors but were held up as they could not find the right
actor to play the villain. After an elusive search which lasted for months they
stumbled upon an audition clip by Karan in early 2016, the decision was instantaneous,
they had found their villain! Mental Facts!
Karanveer is known to be a very humble and soft spoken guy in
real life , to the extent that people in his friend circle tagged him as the
Gentle Giant, contrary to the character he plays in the movie . To put life to
the character of Sher Gill he worked on himself specially his voice, Karanveer
practiced the art of Voice Modulation for months before he dubbed his part for
the movie which won him applause from the technical team. The creepiness and
weight age in the dialogues is a result of his hard work , belief in Method Acting
and the positive support from the writer Udai Pratap Singh Sandhu .. Karan
believes that the success of any movie lies in the joint efforts of the whole
team, he gives the credit to his director Vikram Thori, writer Sanjay Saini ,
udai pratap and his co-actors Mahabir Bhullar, Jagjit singh and Darshan Aulakh
sir along with his contemporary from theater Dheeraj Kumar and Jagjeet Sandhu .
He believes that it's very important that the antagonist in
movies should be good actors so that the whole theme looks balanced. You need a
good villain to bring out the true heroism out of people. It's not about being
hero or villain it's all about how good you bring out your character in front
of the audience. He went to see rocky mental with his family and noticed people
relating to the character of Maninder Shergill, he smile to himself every time
he feels they hate Shergill because that's his victory as an actor. He feels
blessed that people loved his work and reverted to him on his social media
accounts with love and praise. Karanveer had to shred for his character in the
movie, for which he lost 20 pounds in 15 days, which was the result of
hardcore workouts, strict diet regimes and his dedication as an actor towards
his role .The movie hit the screens on 19 august 2017 and the rest is history,
as they said.
